Wall Maintained, By Miriam Slager
drywall, paint, tools
2007-2008

I chose 1 wall in the graduate critique space to make gallery-like. I kept track of my hours and each week recorded these hours onto a calendar posted on the adjacent door. I removed the air conditioner from the wall as well as the vinyl baseboard. I sanded down the entire surface, patched the holes and carefully painted the wall's surface. When the wall exceeded my perception of the museum standard, I posted in the upper left corner of the wall:

I continued to maintain the wall until May 2008.
